I GUESS I never did get tired thinking about all the interesting and exciting things which had happened to the Sugar Creek Gang when we’d gone camping far up in the North. One of the happiest memories was of the time when Poetry, who is the barrel-shaped member of our gang, and I were lost out in the forest, and while we were trying to get unlost we met a very cute little brown-faced Indian boy whose name was Snow-in-the-face, and his big Indian brother whose name was Eagle Eye.

Little Snow-in-the-face was really the cutest little Indian boy I had ever seen; in fact, he was the first one I’d ever really seen up real close. I kept thinking about him and wishing that the whole Sugar Creek Gang could go again up into that wonderful country which everybody calls the Paul Bunyan Playground and see how Little Snow-in-the-face was getting along, and how his big brother’s Indian Sunday school was growing, which, as you know, they were having every Sunday in an old railroad coach, which they’d taken out into the forest and fixed up into a church. Say, I never had any idea that we would get to go back so soon, in fact, the very next summer after we’d been there the summer before.
